ROBERT A. W. KRAMPITZ, OF VALDEZ, -DISTRICT OF ALASKA;

COOKING- UTENSIL. x

To all'whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ROBERT A. W. KRAM- PITZ, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Valdez, District of Alaska,.have invented a new and useful-Improvement in Culinary Utensils, of which the ollowing is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in culinary utensils especially esigned for use in camping-outfits and the like, but which may be employed whenever desired; and the invention consists in certain novel construc-' tions and combinations of parts, as'will be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a top plan view, and Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section, of a utensil embodying my invention. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the frying-pan. Fig. {i is a detail perspective View of a portion of such an, showing the device for connecting the andle with such an. Fig. 5 is a detail perspective View, of the andle detached.

As. shown, the utensil comprises what for term a fryingpan A, a detachable handle B, a bread-pan O, and a cover D, These parts are removable, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, for baking or othersimilar purposes. The pan A is pro- E, which are provided at one edge with cross-bars journaling in loops F, secured on the outer sides of the pan, so that the bails E when turned in-.

wardly, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, will rest upon theupper edge of the pan A and be held inhorizontal position, as best shown in Fig. 2, 1n order to secure and support the bread-pan C, which latter is PIOVl ed with outwardly-projecting flanges C to rest upon the bails E in the arrangement of parts shown in Fig.2. This construction and arrangement of the loops F also permits the said loops to be turned down against the outer side of the frying-pan out of the-wa when it is desired to use such pan simply fllr frying On the outer side of the pan A, I secure a keeper G, open at its upper side, closed at its lower side G, and provlded near said lower vside with lateral o enings G throu h which project lateral stu s or ends of the andle B when such handle is connected with the pan, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4 of the drawings. The handle B has its side bars B rovided with dependin arms B and the aterallyprojecting stu s or portions B, which latter Specification of Letters Patent. Application and April 17,1905.

may be ing the permitted to spring outwar openings G: and be locked ment by moving the slide 6 downwardly from the osition shown in Fig. 3 to that shown in igs. 2 and 4 of the drawings. When so adjusted, the slide 1) locks the detachable handle in enga ement with the kee er and in connection wit the an, as desire At the same time the han le ma be readily released by moving the slide llack to the position shown in Fig. 5 and then compressing the free ends of the handle to disengage it from the keeper.

The coveran D has its edges turned at d and is adapted at such edge to fit over the upper open end of the an A and form an ovenike'inclosure over t e pan C for baking urposes. It is desirable to open the pan at its top when the latter is arranged, as shown in Fig.2, for use as a cover-pan, and I therefore provide such pan in its plate d with an opemng D in Fig. 2 when the pan is to be used for mak ing up bread or for other mixing pu oses and can be removed whenever deslre It may be desirable in some instances to close the o ening (1 when the coveran'D is-adjusted as shown in Fig. 2, an the lug (i may be quickly applied and remove whenever desired. It will thus be noticed that the utensil comprises three diflerent camp utensils0ne a mixingan for mixing bread, &c., a bread-pan in w 'ch biscuits. and other bread may be baked, and a frying-pan which may cooperate with said mixing-pan and bread-pan when arranged as shown in Fig. 2, and which is provided with a detachable handle, which can be quickly ap lied and readily removed and will avoid the ifficulties resulting from a fixed handle on the fryingan, such as the heating of the handle to a lligh degree and the breaking of the handle, as is commonly experienced, especially in the treatment utensils receive in camping.

The different parts of m ntensil may be made of suitable metal an may be finished in any desired way, and when not in use 'the pans A, C, and D may be nested together and the handle be detached.

It will be noticed that the cover-pan when arranged as shown in Fig. 2 projects over the hinged loo 5 F, and an opening is rovided between t e frying-pan and sue cover through which air may circulate.

which may be applied as shown a :plug, for closing the same, substantially as "set Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
